Well you are going to love this:
Code:
--------------------
[fedora@wandboard ~]$ sudo iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"Sicorax"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: 6A:96:BF:6F:FF:10
Bit Rate=65 Mb/s Tx-Power=1496 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=67/70 Signal level=-43 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
--------------------
I wasn't expecting myself that turning the power managment off could
persist before rebooting (specially since a couple of google searches
revealed people having the same trouble with their AP's and their
Desktop computers and asking for some advice on how to make the
disabling of the power management permanent), but since I'm a Linux noob
I thought, well maybe....
The thing is that I've rebooted the WB a few times (web gui, rest button
and even removing power) and every time the connection has been
restablished fine.

Yes, I had this same quad working with the same router I have righ now
(it's vodafone's standard router a Huawei HG556a) and with two other
different routers (changed from another ISP to vodafone a few months
back). I can't really remember when things started to go wrong with the
wifi (sorry, I'm the worst tester ever). I've just downloaded R7 for the
dual and I'm going to test it to see if I have the same problems.
Anything else you want me to test?
